    Question What Next?

    After finally finishing Uni and getting a job, I have been able to spend some money on my car. With insurance being so high where I live, I have had to settle with changing the looks without touching the engine, even a filter or an exhaust increases the premium too much and I have to include business use in the price anyway.

    What do you think I should do next. I don't want to go to extreme as the car is only a 1.6 so would be all show and no go.

    It' already got 17's and is lowered 40mm all round on a Bilstein Streetline Kit.

    full body kit would finish her off nicely.

    Looks nice with the lowering kit and wheels, just needes to have the curves of the front and rear bumpers removed.

    Yep, definaltey get a nice bodykit, maybe a GSi one if ya dont wanna go overboard.

    Get a nice boot spoiler, and colour-code the door handles.

    Also, take off the plastic stip down the side of the car!

    Would get a subtle body kit, replace the side repeaters with smoked lenses, colour code/delock the door handles and possibly change the light clusters.

    That looks really nice as it is to be honest. Just replace those oval indicators with some smoked ones. The green looks very odd.

    If you really wanted some different but sweet, then get the Rieger skirts and bumper aprons.



    Get some Cav GSi rear light clustors.

    Get the newer style didgi clock. Maybe a Cav Turbo interior?

    SimonP - That's what happens when you buy something mail order and are colour blind . I did ask for grey ones to go with the car and these are the ones I received. When my brother saw the car after the indicators were fitted, he asked why I went for green . Unfortunately I had to cut some of the plastic to make the bulbs fit and so couldn't send them back. They will be changed very soon for either smoked (I will get someone else who isn't colour blind to get them) or some of the clear LED ones.

    Smoothing out the body (most of the badges have already gone) and colour coding seems to be the opinion of most then.

    Thanks to everyone who replied. If anyone else has any other ideas let me know.
